"Oh?~ tell me more~"
Xiao ru teases.
Leaving the devil and its victim .
we return to Alice and her abnormal hearing that apparently only catches perverted things.
"... You have been bathing with her?"
Alice asks with lifeless eyes.
"... Oh shit.. "
"No fair! You didn't do it with me before!"
"That's-"
"I don't care!"
Alice pulls me and runs put of the cave.
"Ahhh!"
I scream at the sudden movement.
Ru and Anna notice this and run after us.
___
At a relatively calm icy pond the water was calm and peaceful until...
"Ahhhh!"
A scream was heard before two figures before another two fell Into the water.
The water heated up almost instantly due to the use of a fire related ability.
(Author's note:I forgot to tell but Alice's ability is fire manipulation)
A woman with white hair and blue eyes was the first to get her head from under water.
She had no clothes on which apparently got burned.
Two more women got out one with black hair and red eyes and the other with white hair and deep blue eyes.
They were without clothes too.
"What the fuck Alice? Why run suddenly and turn into a literal ball of fire?"
Ru voices out her complaints.
"Shadow has to do it with us too!"
Alice answers.
"Do what-.. Oh... I forgot your perverted senses"
"Oyy!"
"Where is shadow anyway?"
Anna suddenly questions.
"... Right. "
The duo starts looking underwater before they see that Alice is somehow floating and not swimming.
Anna looks at her suspiciously before Looking underwater only to see he sitting on the back of a muscular man, also without clothes.
"Alice!!"
Anna shouts.
Alice looks away and starts whistling.
"Why are you sitting on him?"
"He must have a punishment right?"
Alice pouts.
"Get off him ,he is going to drown!"
Ru shouts.
"Relax, he is gonna be ok-"
Before she continues speaking her face suddenly turns red and she moans softly.
The other two Look at this with blank eyes before looking underwater at the suspect.
Meanwhile a handsome man have turned over underwater and now his head is accidentally in Alice's butt.
The two women's faces turn red and they hurry to pull him out.
"GASP!"
A loud gasp is heard as I inhale and exhale trying to catch my breath.
"What the duck Alice?"
I ask with an irritated tone.
Alice pouts
"I was just giving you a little punishment"
'Why did you get out of there?'
She asks inwardly grunting.
"Are you sure of that?"
Ru asks incredulously.
"I am sure she just wanted his face to stick in her butt"
Anna voices her thoughts.
"H-hey!"
Alice's face turns totally red.
"Girls!"
I shout bringing everyone's attention.
"Can you stop arguing? "
"Alice... "
"... Yes?"
"What is your true desire?"
I ask straightaway seriously.
"We have to sort out our relationship... Even though it's obvious"
"Well.. I really love you and.. And... I always dreamt of doing .. Things with you... I always wanted to marry you and have a normal easy life.."
"I didn't even want to enter any academy I wanted at first to just work in my father's business and have a normal life with you... But when I saw how determined you were to get stronger I changed my mind... "
Alice explains with a crestfallen expression.
"A... Alice... "
My expression shows shock. A
"You didn't have to do all of that... "
"I had to!!"
Alice takes a deep breath.
"I... I wanted to be with you... But it's ok as long as I am with you it doesn't matter if you have 2 or 3 more wives... It doesn't matter what kind of life I have"
All of a sudden Alice is pulled into a tight hug.
"Alice... Why didn't you tell me?"
I ask while playing with Alice's hair.
"I didn't want you to think I am too unambitious or weak"
"I would have never done that.. "
"Shadow... "
"Yes?"
"W... Would you... You know... Marry me one day? "
Alice asks shyly.
I grab her chin making her look into my eyes.
At that moment my right eye was crimson red while my left eyes was golden as always.
Two voices come out of my mouth.
"Alice... I can marry you right now if you want"
Alice is brought out of her stupor because of my double voice and color of eyes by the question.
"Really?"
She asks with anticipation and a bit of fear of being disappointed.
"Alice... Would you marry me , without a priest, a wedding or guests for now?"
After that very question....
_____
In a dark place, not a room not a house.. But an endless void.
A big black stone board with words written in some kind of language like a list.
The second row of words light up and a "√" appears beside it like the first.
_____
"Yes! Yes I would!"
Kiss!
A kiss was heard without sound and the surroundings brightened without light.
Some minutes later.
We pull away.
Unknown to the new couple, a connection was made between their souls.
"Wooooo! Yeah! "
A cheering was heard.
I and Alice look at the two women that are eating popcorn and cheering.
My smile trembles slightly.
'Those two... When did they get so close?'
"Are you making fun of us?"
Alice asks, irritated.
"What if?"
Ru asks with a snake like smile.
'I sometimes regret turning her into a playful type'
Alice thinks to herself.
"Shadow.."
"Yes?"
"Marry them"
"... Huh?"
"You heard me"
"HUUH?"
"Didn't you plan on marrying them?"
"Yeah but-"
"Yeah whatever, the author isn't so free-timed to let you ask them what their desires are and all that bullshit"
"... This is supposed to be a good novel you know?"
"A good novel isn't boring"
"And isn't the plot developing too fast?"
"Yeah the author is too lazy to make a long romance bullshit till they agree to marry you anyway"
"Although that will happen later with other women...probably"
Alice continues
"... Good point"
Shadow lunges at the two women.
"Wait no! Not yet! I still have to ask my grandfather!"
"Father help!"
'Or not, hehe~'
They both think simultaneously.
